crying I apologize for procrastinating so long on this. I was kinda hopeing someone else would do it for me. Never the less....
I have spend a great deal of time picking correct word use and vocabulation as to clearly identify our intentions to each member in the hopes they will not feel any great emotions, such negative ones such as anger or annoyance. Please criticize me truthfully and to the best of your abilities. Even if to just correct harsh wording. I will accept nothing but perfection after my last failure. My own comments will be in bold.Quote: Dear Fin Member, We are pleased to inform you that Fin's Guild has gone through some major updates and revamping. For the grand reopening, we are looking for crew recruitments in which everyone has a fair chance of obtaining a position. Each volunteer will be assessed and run their very own contest. Whether you would like to be part of our crew or not, please come and join in part the many contests which are sure to follow, and perhaps win yourself some fabulous prizes. Whether it be posting and chatting with fellow Guild members or even holding your very own contests as promoted crew, we look forward to and expect all of our members to be involved in Fins in some way. We already have many ideas for future and up-coming contests, which you are welcome to have your say or take part in. Unfortunately, for the Guild to be completely renewed and full of friendly cooperative members, we need a guarantee from you, the members, that this level of cooperation can be obtained. Therefore, we take this time to warn you that as part of the final steps of our revamping process we are attempting to clean up the guild roster. We ask that you post in this thread located in Fins by August 20th so that you may continue to be a valued member of the family. We regret to inform you that failure to do so will result in your removal of the rosters. We apologize for the suddenness of this message and hope you understand our intentions. If you have any questions or comments regarding anything discussed in this letter or about Fins, please feel free to contact myself, Immishfae, or Lavistar. Best Regards, The Fin Crew.

LAVI EDITS;
Two Spell Checks here.Quote: Dear Fin Member, We are pleased to inform you that Fin's Guild has gone threwthrough some major updates and revamping. For the grand reopening, we are looking for crew recruitments in which everyone has a fair chance of obtaining a position. Each volenteer volunteer will be assessed and run their very own contest. ----- Quote: Even if you are not interested in becoming a crew member, please come join the festivities for a chance to win a prize in one of the many contests. [ I don't like that sentence. Help me reword it?] Urm, it seems okay to me, but if you're not happy with it, try something like:Quote: Whether you would like to be part of our crew or not, you can still come and join us to take part in the many contests which are sure to follow, and perhaps win yourself some fabulous prizes. ----- Quote: In the future, we look forward to and expect all of our members to be involved in Fins in some way.[ Whether that be just posting, or whatever...do you think it needs a little bit more?] It's okay, though you could say something like:Quote: ...Fins in some way, whether it be simply posting and chatting with fellow Guild members, or maybe even holding their very own contests as promoted crew. ----- You need a slightly better connection between these two bits (marked in bold).Quote: We already have many ideas for future and up-coming contests, which you are welcome to have your say or take part in. (here)We take this time now to warn you that as part of the final steps of our revamping process we are attempting to clean up the guild roster. I'd suggest you knock out the first part, as I don't think it's necessary if you're adding a bit in after the part before that anyway; put a nice connective sentence in there so that the sentence you have is a little more agreeable, like this maybe?:Quote: Unfortunately, for the Guild to be completely renewed and full of friendly co-operative members, we need a guarantee from you, the members themselves, that we will get this level of cooperation from you. Therefore, we take this time now to blah blah blah..... That's an idea anyway; you might think it a bit too hostile or whatever I don't know, but you get my gist.----- Quote: We apologize for the suddenness of this > message/subject ???< and hope you understand our intentions. Message is fine, or announcement? Whichever floats your boat ;]----- I think all you need here is a Quote: Best Regards, The Fin Crew. Okay, that's all the edits I have at the moment, they aren't necessary, simply guidance as you seem a bit freaked out about this letter. The stuff you have at the moment is fine, but if you want tweaking then that's all I have to offer at the moment; hope it was of some help =] x

Alright, that looks good to me. I'll read over it a couple more times, can I get your final opinion Lavi?
(The bringing together of the two paragraphs is still a little too wordy for my likes, but it'll do.)
I will PM you Wolfie, need to give you muffins password anyways so it can be sent out.
Last thing Lavi, a short little message to send to current crew members when we're demoteing them. ^^ Just something to keep in mind. I'm at work right now and not exactly in thinking mode. ^^; Short and simple should be fine, I'll get to it if you don't.

I think it looks perfect Immi; the one and only thing I might say is what actually IS a roster? Hah.
Urm, okay you might have already done this but here's a small message thingy like you asked; s'not great, but I'm a wee bit tired now v___V :
Quote: Hi there! This is a quick message from the higher-up's at Fin's, letting you know that we'll be demoting all our current Fin crew members on (>Date<). We're doing this because we feel it's time to give the Guild a little revamp, and this includes renewing our staff. For your chance to reclaim your title as Fin Crew, please check out (link to crew recruitment thread). We're sorry about the suddenness of this, if you weren't aware of it before. However, we hope you are understanding of our plans, and that you don't take this too personally; this is happening to all Fin crew, after all! Any other questions, please PM Lavistar or ImmishFae with your queries. Best regards, Fin's.
